d2b.js a d3 based charting library

[Kevin Warne]

This is a new d3-based charting library, d2b.js (Data to DashBoards). It is built using d3v4's module pattern with rollup.js as a build tool.

The build is stable but there is still work being done on the wiki and additional tests are still being added. D2B currently supports axis-charts, pie-charts, and sunburst-charts. More charts and features will be added in the future after the current build is ready for a 1.x.x release.

Very nice UI with the sunburst!

[Kevin Warne]

Thank you! One of the goals with this UI was to have sunburst zooming without losing a sense of where you are in the data hierarchy. This was achieved by having the ancestor sequence visible even after zooming.

I like the API and how you can compose charts using generators. Good job!

Thanks! The generators make it much easier to configure the internal d2b and d3 APIs, without having to manually propagate configuration options to the internal APIs. I was hoping that this would feel more like an extension to d3 rather than having to learn a whole new implementation pattern.

I've added SVG and Chart components for drawing Sankeys to the d2b.js charting library. I'll be adding more examples and documentation for this soon.

The latest version of d2b (v0.5.0) adds built in hooks for the d3.annotation plugin! See all of the examples here: http://www.d2bjs.org/example_categories/1/entries/32
